Pair of Heresy II on Craigslist


strorg

Recommended Posts

Local Craigslist seller has a pair in "unfinished ash" with a few dings for $700. Seems like worth taking a look but I have no idea what to look out for. From the photos, appear to be legit set with sequential serial numbers. Any advice?

 

Thanks...Tom

I just bought a pair of Heresy II in birch with cables for $380. I am not sure if this is about right or high or low. They are in very good shape- a few small issues with the back corners but the innards look pristine. I had a pair in college so this is the start of my mid-life crisis :<) A few questions: Amp suggestions and I have heard they sound better elevated. To what height? Thanks in advance. ( If i cannibalized the original post, that wasn't my intention. Just wanted to get started on here)

That price seems within reason.

I have Heresy 1s on 23.5" stands in the guest bedroom and Heresy 2s sitting on my dresser in my master bedroom.  Both are situated where boundary gain is in play.

12x15 room. Budget used would be sub $1000. Prefer instrumental at lower levels. I dont mind a saturday ACDC fest but those are rare. Thanks for input.

I would not hesitate to suggest any of these.

Many other brands and models but the above suggestions are the ones that popped to my head.
